Spangled Drongo near Bairnsdale

Tim Dolby highlights the low number of records for Spangled Drongo in 
Victoria and this is supported by the data in the Atlas of Victorian 
Wildlife (27 records).

The earliest report is from 1950 and, as Tim mentioned, the last reported 
Victorian record is from 2001.  Observations are spread across all seasons 
but many of the records are from East Gippsland and a few from Phillip 
Island in Western Port Bay.

A good sighting and well worth atlassing...!
